Why we read it this way (5)
The JD states 6+ years of experience as the primary gate; 10 years total experience is accepted in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors (the standard path), but the degree can be substituted by experience.
Veeam and Symantec Backup are listed as interchangeable examples of enterprise backup solutions ('such as'); they are captured as one skill with alternatives.
Routers, switches, SANs, and enterprise backup systems carry the explicit 6-year hands-on experience requirement from the education/experience section.
Firewalls and VPN appear in the required skills section alongside routers/switches but are not individually called out in the 6-year experience list; they are still marked required as they sit under the required qualifications heading.
Microsoft, networking, cloud, cybersecurity, and infrastructure certifications are listed as preferred, not required.
